Ever since switching to more of a plant based diet, I've noticed some positive changes. For one, its been easier to stay hydrated. I eat quite a few vegetables daily that have the highest Water content of any food. Below is an interesting article that lists such foods. Cucumbers just happen to be number 1 since they are about 98% water. I actually find that I crave cucumbers and apple cider vinegar during the day. Apple cider vinegar is wonderful for vitality and overall health. I've already written a long post about it a few months back, but I do recommend it for decreasing hunger and increasing energy.

Ever since hitting goal, I've grown respect for fresh fruits and vegetables. The surgery has perhaps made them more appealing? Anyone else notice this?

I've definitely noticed a change in my tastes for the better. Since my calories are so restricted I've decided only the best quality foods will suffice. I think I have cooked from scratch more in the past couple of months than I have in my entire life. I have noticed a major increase in my energy level as a result.

Oh for sure! I find I'm actually craving veggies now! And another pleasant surprise is I used to hate green beans...now I LOVE them!

I love to eat Watermelon and it is 92% of water.

I also like cantaloupe and honey dew which has about 90% water content.
